Majorana Fermions and Exotic Surface Andreev Bound States in Topological Superconductors: Application to CuₓBi₂Se₃

The recently discovered superconductor CuₓBi₂Se₃ is a candidate for three-dimensional time-reversal-invariant topological superconductors, which are predicted to have robust surface Andreev bound states hosting massless Majorana fermions. In this work, we analytically and numerically find the linear...
